  “We had a lovely experience today. Chloe was our wonderful server today, who was very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Very warm and accommodating to our 4 year old. Great roasts and good value for money. Definitely come back again.”

  “We held an event there, 60 people, very accommodating and the staff are amazing. Made the night perfect for us all. We had food, and no complaints. I my self had the fish and chips and it was very yummy. Will look to do future events here.”

  “Great food, very nice menu. Not keen on the so-called live music. Person (on the day) didn't play an actual tune, just phrases stuck together. Staff friendly and helpful. Good layout. Gets noisy. So not too good if you want to talk.”

  “I’m sorry about the food at Drummond. I still can’t believe it remains so bad. I try my hardest not to eat here, but once or twice a year I give it a reluctant try. Today we sat down for a Friday burger and salad.. which took 45 mins to arrive. I had them put into a takeaway as we were just on a lunch break, and that too much time had elapsed. On getting home my heart sank when I opened the box to find my burned burger Patty. Seriously.. Drummond Owners.. fire the kitchen staff and start over. Get professional help in there. You’ve done an amazing job on the decor etc. now the kitchen needs that same care and attention.”

  “One of the best pubs in Guildford. The place is always kept spotless, and you're welcomed with a smile. Even at busy times service is fast and friendly. The rear garden is always a treat giving a mixture of sun and shade. Highly recommend the food, the smaller plates are a great addition to the well kept beer. What's not to want from a pub”

  “First time in Guildford, and we decided to try the Sunday roast at The Drummond. Unfortunately, our first impression wasn’t great. When we arrived, the waitress seemed a bit confused about where we could sit. At first, she said we could choose any table, but then the manager told us to sit at the table near the door. We didn’t mind and just sat there because we were tired and hungry. The manager also wasn’t very welcoming, which didn’t make us feel very comfortable. We ordered our food at around 1:44 pm by scanning the QR code on the table. After waiting 30 minutes, we still hadn’t received our food, so we asked the manager. She asked how we had ordered, and when we said we had ordered on our phones, she told us the waiting time for mobile orders was 45 minutes and that it was mentioned. We honestly didn’t see that anywhere on the website or on the table when we ordered. If we had known, we would have ordered at the bar instead. The food was below average. It looked nice, but the gravy had no flavour, the roast potatoes were hard, the roast chicken was dry, the pork crackling was far too salty, and the Yorkshire pudding was quite greasy. It was a shame because I brought my sister here to try Sunday roast for the first time. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the experience we were hoping for.”

  “A special shout-out to Riley Watts, who was brilliant from start to finish. Friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does, Riley helped make a great meal even better. The only disappointment? I didn’t leave myself enough room for dessert! ☺️”

  “Popped in for the first time since the refurb and it’s gorgeous - lots of lovely plants, comfy seats, friendly staff and still a great food & drink selection. Oh good playlist too! We ordered a charcuterie board, chips with curry sauce and a scotch egg and were really impressed. The charcuterie was not served cold, yay! The scotch egg was warm, gooey, delicious and the chips were proper. Very impressed and will continue to be one of our favourite places in Guildford. Wish I’d taken photos!”
